Granular data profiles enhance your Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) detection capabilities by allowing you to apply differentiated inline content inspection requirements and response actions within the same Security policy rule. For example, you can use a single granular data profile to block high-risk data patterns while alerting on lower-risk ones, set varying log severities for different data profiles, and set specific file types for each data profile included in the granular data profile.

Granular data profiles simplify policy rulebase management by consolidating multiple rules into a single, more flexible Security policy rule. Furthermore, they reduce false positive detections and allow your data security admins to achieve a more nuanced approach to data protection that aligns closely with your organization's risk management strategy while maintaining a lean and efficient Security policy rulebase.
